Today, teenage girls and young women face an unprecedented situation: never before have there been so many freedoms and choices, but also never before have there been so many demands placed on them – whether by others or by themselves.
Addressing teenage girls and young women, Dr. Tara Porter utilizes her extensive therapeutic experience to provide them with tools to understand their own psychology. From exams to friendships, from family relationships to love, Dr. Porter compiles everything she has learned to offer accessible explanations and advice to teenage girls and young women.
Like a warm letter from a wise friend or an older sister, this book understands the way young women view things and guides them through the challenges they will encounter along the way. The book is written for teenage girls and young women; however, because it includes explanations about their very selves, it also serves as an essential guide for parents: a sneak peek into what is happening within them, beyond the nerves and complaints: “You don’t understand me!”
A companion through the challenges of adolescence, who speaks the language of girls and builds bridges of understanding with parents. Tara Porter offers real, practical strategies for issues such as anxiety, social media pressure, eating habits, friendships, self-image, and emotional ups and downs.
"Tara Porter manages to be scientific, yet incredibly human. A book-tool for every teenage girl and every parent."
– British Psychological Society
"It should be in every school, every library, every teenager's bedside table."
– The Times Parenting
“There is no right way to be a girl. There is only your own way – and that’s okay.”
“You’re not crazy. You’re just a teenager. And that is hard, but not impossible.”
